The devastatingly gorgeous Milla Jovovich is angry, and when Milla is pissed off, people notice. The actress and star of the new Three Musketeers 3D movie unleashed some frustration upon Summit Entertainment for what she perceived to be a lackluster marketing campaign for her new movie. Regardless of whether or not Milla is correct in her assumptions, the film has debuted at the domestic box office with an abysmal estimated $8.8 million weekend (opening in 4th place after Paranormal Activity 3 and holdovers Real Steel and Footloose), which brings its global total to a mere $57.8 million and probably barely puts a dent in its yet-to-be-revealed but certainly huge budget. Of course, these numbers hadn’t been released (or even conceivable) on Friday, but Milla already knew the score, and she took to her Twitter account to unload on Summit:

The always quick-on-the-draw Deadline has already secured a response from Summit:

I asked Summit last night what it thought of Milla’s accusations, and an executive pointed out that the actress had been up in Canada shooting the next Resident Evil installment “and working 15-hour days and probably didn’t see the campaign. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about and we don’t know where she’s coming from.” On the other hand, Jovovich is married to Three Musketeers 3D director Paul W.S. Anderson, so it’s hard to imagine she is completely clueless to how Summit marketed the film. Nevertheless, Summit points to awareness in the 80s as a sure sign that the movie was marketed adequately even if U.S. grosses were terrible. “Wouldn’t you think she would call us first about this? It’s frustrating. it’s not the right way to behave. If she has a problem then come to the studio and talk about it.” Milla was tweeting on her flight to Japan where Three Musketeers 3D is debuting at the Tokyo International Film Festival. I wonder if Summit will cancel her car pickup and strand her at the airport for mouthing off.

This is a toughie because I’m generally Team Milla on all things, but she sort of comes off like a brat in these tweets; although I can see from where her frustration stems because she’s not only defending herself but also her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, who directed Musketeers. It’s also quite easy to jump the gun and assume that Summit has been preoccupied with its promotion of the upcoming Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I movie because talk of Edward and Bella is pretty inescapable at this point. However, I personally witnessed many television commercials as well as tons of internet promotion for Musketeers too. Everyone sort of assumed that this movie would do well, but at the same time, nobody really wanted to see it either. Quite simply, Musketeers looked pretty craptastic and not in a good, popcorn-munching way either. It also seemed like a gigantic waste of talent in regard to Matthew Macfadyen, Christoph Waltz, Til Schweiger, and Orlando Bloom. This latest incarnation certainly didn’t promise a new approach to the well-treaded story, and releasing a male-geared action adventure flick is seldom a good plan during football season.

Milla was indeed en route to the Tokyo premiere when she unloaded on Summit, but our photo agencies have yet to reveal what she was wearing at the premiere. So these are mostly leftover photos (that we’ve already covered) of the London premiere and (because I couldn’t resist) a couple of photos of her at London Fashion Week and the Cannes AMFAR benefit. And as an afterthought, here’s a few “meh” stills from that Three Musketeers 3D too:

Milla Jovovich received a lot of girlcrush love in the comment section yesterday, so let’s continue the trend by discussing her look at the world premiere of The Three Musketeers in London last night. Milla attended with her husband, Paul WS Anderson, who directed the film and looked on adoringly as she killed it in a thigh-baring Salvatore Ferragamo gown and Brian Atwood “Wagner” pumps. With that dress and those accessories, she’s positively gleaming but stops just short of going too far.

Milla can work just about any dress, but she really brought the glamour this time, didn’t she? Although I must admit that I’m not crazy about the hot pinkish shade of lipstick she chose. Otherwise, she looks fantastic.

Conspicuously missing from the premiere was one Christoph Waltz, but that might be for the same reason that he missed this week’s Carnage premiere at the New York Film Festival; that is, he suffered a very painful injury (a dislocated pelvis) when he fell off a horse while training for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.

Luckily, we’ve still got the likes of Orlando Bloom to ogle. I have to say that I do like him more since he and Miranda Kerr got married — he seems a lot more satisfied and relaxed, both in candid shots and on the red carpet. Obviously, he realizes that he’s one lucky and happy bloke.

Also in attendance was a very bearded Matthew Macfadyen with his wife, Keeley Hawes, who wore a sleek orange-red number but (oddly) paired it with some rose-printed pumps. She reminds me so much of Sadie Frost — anyone else see it too?

I’ve had a serious girl crush on Milla Jovovich since she and I were both 11-years-old. The major difference between us, of course, was that Milla was gracing the covers of Seventeen and Mademoiselle at the time while I was sitting in my bedroom wishing that I looked like her. These days, Milla is still a highly successful model (who has been a L’Oréal spokesperson for over a decade) and has managed to carve herself out a very lucrative acting career as well. She recently sat down with the Telegraph to promote The Three Musketeers, and the journalist takes great pains to mention that Jovovich didn’t bring a publicist and appears to possess no PR filter of which to speak. It shows, mostly in a good way.

On Never Taking Fame Personally: When people held up my picture to sign at a premiere it didn’t feel like it was because I was famous – just a part of the job. I would only ever get horrible things said about my acting and so on. And they were right: I was a horrible actress back then.

On Supermodels: The girls who endure past the age of 25 are fascinating because they brought something more to the table. Take the supermodels: sure they had mystique and the glamour, but those girls are smart businesswomen. Lots of pretty faces came and went over the years, but some stuck around and I happen to be one of them.

Now, every client would rather work with an actress. After the supermodel thing, the clients just said, “We’re done with paying top dollar for girls with attitudes who are constantly late.” These days they’ll pay them nothing so they don’t create stars – and I get that. Why have a model on the front of your magazine when you can have Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett or Hilary Swank? Because those girls are intelligent and talented, people are interested.

On Early Success: My poor mum had a lot of problems with me around that time. I was young but I’d been working for years, so if she asked me to clean my room I’d say, “You can’t tell me what to do after I’ve worked a 12-hour day.” It gave me a power that no one that age should have.

On Male Models: They’re even worse than actors. I mean seriously: you’re going to model for a living? It’s embarrassing for a man to model. Because it’s not like their career can take them anywhere – except in rare exceptions, like my ex-boyfriend [the photographer] Mario Sorrenti. If I ever had a boy, my one terror would be that he wanted to be an actor or a model.

On Mothering In Los Angeles: I worry about Ever. She’s the daughter of two successful people living in Beverly Hills: that’s gross. And that’s why at some point I want to take her to live in a village in Mongolia where we can help milk the yaks. Not that I’m ever going to be just a mum because it’s not in my nature, and what’s the point of being with your kid 24 hours a day if you’re depressed, which I would be?

On Her Recent Cosmetic-Enhancement (Veneers) Mistake: It didn’t even look like me. I couldn’t believe that I’d let them take away my smile. Luckily I found a dentist who recreated my teeth the way they were, but it taught me a lesson. Until you can’t bear to look in the mirror without feeling uncomfortable, don’t touch yourself. What is it you people say? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” Because you will break it.

[From Telegraph]

That last part sounds rather scary, for Milla admits to allowing a cosmetic dentist talk her into the veneers after she chipped a tooth while filming a movie. Fortunately, another dentist was able to “redo” them so that she could regain her old look, which probably cost her a fortune and was a process filled with pain. Yet the experience has given her a fresh outlook on the risks of changing one’s appearance, so I am hopeful that she’ll never go the way of the botox and plastic surgery monsters that we’re so familiar with in contemporary society.

While Milla’s male model statements do sound slightly bitchy at first glance, the girl does have a point because modelling is probably the only industry where women outearn males by a hefty proportion. While neither sex can necessarily count on longevity as a model, I think most people see male models as just pinch hitting until they move on to a more practical career or get booted out after they can no longer pass for college aged. Yes, there are the occasional faces that stick around, like Tyson Beckford, but it’s very rare for a male model to become a household name unless, you know, they happen to get mixed up with crazy Halle Berry or start sleeping with Madonna. Ugh.

Milla, however, shall be around as a model (and actress) for as long as she desires. She’s so damn beautiful, and her little girl is just adorable too.

Actress and supermodel Milla Jovovich was front and center on the Cannes red carpet for the debut of La Conquete, which is the much anticipated biopic of French President Nicolas Sarkozy that, according to early reviews is a serviceable enough film but not a stunning masterpiece by any stretch. What’s more relevant here, however, is the Prada gown worn by Milla. Though her hair and makeup, Milla obviously intends to evoke some old-fashioned glamour, but the dress is somewhat lacking. The mismatched top and bottom really throw the look off although I’m sure the avant garde look will appeal to some fashionistas out there.

Although La Conquete was clearly a political film, this red carpet was definitely more of a runway affair. Also in attendance was Dutch model Doutzen Kroes, one of the current Victoria’s Secret Angels and also one who doesn’t recognize the meaning of “sheer.” That’s her underwear, right?

Meanwhile, Eva Herzigova ditched all subtlety and killed it with extremely short shorts that showed off her ultra long legs. By the way, she had a baby two months ago, so this is probably her “Look how quickly I bounced back!” outfit. Bitch.

Ukranian model and actress Milla Jovovich, 33, plays the lead in the uber-violent Resident Evil films, based on the video game of the same name. She’s currently promoting the alien abduction movie The Fourth Kind, out November 6. Jovovich spoke with Parade Magazine about being a mom to her daughter Ever, 2, with her husband, director Paul W. S. Anderson, and parental responsibility when it comes to violence in movies. I’m not that familiar with Milla, but ever since I read her funny explanation of how she gained a lot of weight during her pregnancy (which of course she lost pretty quickly), I’ve had a high opinion of her. She seems very funny and down to earth.

Now she’s feeling good as a mom.
“Before you have kids, you create so many problems that are centered in yourself. You’re thinking, Am I ready for this audition? Am I good enough? Now that I have a kid, it’s not such a big deal. Even if I don’t get the job, I know I’m going to be really busy at home. Being a mother to my daughter, Ever, is a full-time job. Now it’s all about my baby, her growing up well and getting everything she needs. Everything else is just a plus.”

Her message to parents.
“You’ve got to know your kids like the back of your hand and make sure they’re honest with you and not scared to tell you things. I know when Ever goes to school I’ll be letting my little bird go, but I just want to make sure she tells me everything that happened, good or bad.”

Take charge of what your children watch.
“I think parents need to take a lot more responsibility than they do about whether it’s OK for their children to go to Resident Evil or any other movie with violence or sex or whatever. It’s really easy to blame Hollywood for violence having an effect on kids, but movies would have no power if parents would just set their own standards. And it’s the same with video games.”

The video game that jump-started her career.
“Me and my brother Marco would play Resident Evil together and I said to him, ‘This is the perfect vehicle for me.’ I mean, Alice wears a tube top and a mini-skirt and she’s killing zombies. So when I first auditioned, I said to Paul [director Paul W. S. Anderson, her husband ] ‘If I don’t get this part my brother is going to kill me because he sees a huge boost in his popularity at school if I play her.’”

[From Parade]

That’s cute that she calls her daughter her “little bird,” and I agree that once you have kids you don’t sweat the small stuff anymore. There’s too much going on in your life. My son is five so I haven’t really had to deal with extremely violent movies, but I have had to make sure that he’s not playing video games on the computer that include shooting or violence. (It’s not as bad as it sounds. Some older kids from his camp introduced him to miniclip.com and they have a ton of games, some of which are not appropriate for little kids, but he has his favorites and they’re ok for kids. It’s not like he’s seen first person shoot ‘em ups. He also loves nitrome.com) For those of you with tweens and teenagers – how do make sure they’re not seeing violence on tv or film? How do you deal with limiting access to violent video games? Some of the stuff that’s out there now is pretty horrifying.

Model and actress Milla Jovovich married her longtime boyfriend/partner/baby-daddy Paul W.S. Anderson on Saturday. The bride wore a vintage-style wedding dress that she designed herself, and they were married in the backyard of their Beverly Hills home. Anderson is an English director (he’s done Resident Evil and Alien versus Predator) but he shouldn’t be confused with American director Paul Thomas Anderson, who did Magnolia and is with Maya Rudolph. Paul’s IMDB page says that he’s “sick and tired” of having to explain the frogs in Magnolia, so cut him slack, people! He’s not P.T. Anderson! Milla and Paul are parents to 20-month old daughter Ever Gabo:

Milla Jovovich married director Paul W.S. Anderson in an intimate outdoor ceremony at their home in Beverly Hills on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The bride, 33, wore a ’60′s-style mini dress she designed herself as she walked down the aisle in the backyard of the couple’s Spanish-style house, decorated with red and white floral arrangements.

The couple exchanged matching 18k Neil Lane classic gold wedding bands, to go with Jovovich’s 19th century vintage gold engagement ring with colored pink, yellow and white diamonds.

Among the 50 guests in attendance was actor Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian. The couple’s 20-month-old daughter Ever Gabo was also present.

“They’re a super duper couple,” says Lane of the newlyweds. “They clearly adore each other.”

Before the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail reception by the pool, where a Spanish guitarist and a female vocalist entertained with traditional Spanish music.

After the ceremony, there was a reception that included entertainment by Cuban musicians playing traditional Cuban drums. The wedding cake was a round, four-tiered white cake decorated with a ribbon.

Jovovich and Anderson, 44, first met in 2002, when he directed her in the box office hit Resident Evil. They welcomed daughter Ever Gabo in November 2006.

“Having a child has completely changed the way I look at my life,” Jovovich told PEOPLE earlier this year. “I don’t worry about my career or what other people think about me. My main priority now is my child and my family.”

As for what the future holds for the couple? “I definitely want more kids!” Jovovich said. “I grew up as an only child, so I’ve always wanted to have a big family. I don’t know what the future will hold, but knock on wood, I hope it’ll bring me a big family.”

The actress can currently be seen opposite Steve Zahn and Timothy Olyphant in the thriller A Perfect Getaway, which premiered on August 7. Anderson’s latest film, which he wrote and directed, was 2008′s Death Race starring Jason Stratham.

It sounds like a lovely, low-key ceremony. I wonder how and why Patrick Dempsey was a guest. Doesn’t that seem random? Milla and Paul met while he was directing her on Resident Evil, and they’ve been together ever since. They don’t seem scandalous in the least, just happy and decent. Congratulations to the happy couple!

When you’re pregnant, it seems like everyone wants to share their labor and delivery horror stories with you. This happens to me every week at my pregnancy yoga class. But I don’t think any of the stories I’ve heard so far compare to actress/model Milla Jovovich’s 72-hour labor to deliver her last child, daughter Ever, who just turned one. If you recall, Milla spent most of last year losing the baby weight she gained while pregnant with Ever – about 70 pounds total. But that was child’s play compared to the marathon labor session she endured.

As her daughter Ever turns 1, Milla Jovovich reveals that her child birth over Halloween was exceptionally difficult.

“I was in labor for 72 hours,” Jovovich tells PEOPLE at the Spike TV’s Scream 2008, in Hollywood over the weekend. “I was up for 48 hours, for two nights. I started Halloween night. By the time I went into the hospital, it was the night of November 2. I finally went into the hospital and had the epidural.”

Despite the ghoulish lack of rest, Jovovich, 32, says when Ever Gabo Anderson arrived, “all I wanted to do was just show her who her mom is, and talk to her.”

And now, comes the fun of planning baby’s first birthday!

“I’m the worst at planning stuff like that,” Jovovich, who is married to director Paul Anderson, says. “But for her party, I have to plan something. It will be pretty relaxed.”

Relaxed for mom, that is, as the Resident Evil actress attests, “too many people in the house [can be] too much” for Ever. “The fact is, I just have to bring her down after her nap and take some shots with the other kids, and send her away. She’ll just freak out.”

Jovovich jokes, “It’s really for me. It’s not for her. It’s for her memories so she doesn’t come back to me at 25 and like, ‘You didn’t celebrate my first birthday, and that’s why I hate you, mom! My life is totally screwed up because of it.’ ”

[From People]

I think it was Jerry Seinfeld who said that your first birthday is a lot like your 90th birthday: you’re disoriented, don’t know anyone, and the party is over when guest of honor needs a nap. At any rate, Milla looks great and seems no worse for wear after her pregnancy and labor nightmare. And her little girl is adorable. So those 72 hours of pain were worth it.

Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson are shown at Spike TV’s “Scream 2008″ awards on 10/18/08. She is also shown at the airport with Ever on 9/13/08 and 6/16/08. Credit: Bauergriffinonline

The Cannes Film festival officially ends today after two weeks of premieres, parties and glamor on the French Riviera. The top prize at the festival, the Palm D’Or, will be announced at 7:30 pm Central European Time, which is 6 hours ahead of EST. Frontrunners are generally thought to be Steven Soderbergh’s Che and maybe Clint Eastwood’s Changeling, although past winners were often complete surprises and it could go to any of the deserving films in competition.

On Friday night, Michelle Williams made her second red carpet appearance and looked a little more somber than on Thursday, when everyone was heralding her return to the red carpet after the death of her daughter’s father, Heath Ledger, in January.

In an article about the seedy side of Cannes, author Liz Jones mentioned that the photographers at the premiere of Williams’ film were shouting questions at her about Heath. Her description is sad:

I see Michelle Williams braving the red carpet to promote her new film as shouts from the paparazzi, begging her to give just one soundbite about the death of her former fiancee; Heath Ledger, rain down on her narrow shoulders like hail.

[From The Daily Mail]

Williams was at the premiere of Synedoche, New York, with a screenplay written by Charlie Kaufman, who also wrote Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Adaptation. She appears in the film along with Samantha Morton, Catherine Keneer, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. When I saw these photos I got confused, because I thought the photocall pictures we published earlier were from Williams’ film Wendy and Lucy, but it turns out they were for Synedoche, and that Williams is in two movies at Cannes this year. According to IMDB, Synedoche, New York is about “a theater director [played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who] struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play.”

Also shown are photos from the premiere of The Palermo Shooting Saturday, where the stars of the film along with plenty of lesser-knowns showed up. Shown are Milla Jovovich, Campino, Dennis Hopper, Kerry Washington (who was also at the Synechdoche premiere), Phoebe Price (who I know primarily from D-Listed), Dennis Hopper’s super skinny wife Victoria, some chick named Jana Pallaske in a ridiculous pink feather dress, Sarah Marshall, and Zhang Zilin.

You know how Halle Berry makes pregnancy sound like it’s all sweetness and light? Like morning sickness is awesome, and chimichanga cravings are the height of happiness? Well Milla Jovovich is the flipside to all that happiness. The model and actress has had some incredibly frightening cravings since getting pregnant.

Pregnant Milla Jovovich has been craving bone marrow. The ‘Resident Evil’ actress – who has gained 70lbs since falling pregnant with her first child with fiancé director Paul W.S. Anderson – was in Paris when she experienced an overwhelming desire for “the leg of a cow”.

She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “I was craving bone marrow one day, and I scoured the whole of Paris searching for the leg of a cow. When I finally found what I was looking for, I cut it in half, digging out the yellowish substance, slathering it all over bread.”

The Ukrainian model, who is expecting a girl, has developed a new relationship with food since falling pregnant. She said: “Before I got pregnant, I really didn’t care about food. I saw it as fuel, not something to sit down and enjoy. As an actress and model, I lived on cigarettes and coffee, and jet-lag tended to kill off any appetite I had. My diet for most of this year has been – for breakfast, four eggs with bacon, toast and butter, if I was at home. Then if I was at a diner, I’d have a Mexican omelet, a stack of pancakes and strawberry milkshake.

“I’d stuff myself with cookies all morning – whatever was in the cupboard really – then I’d have a box of Krispy Kreme donuts for dessert. And I once ate two whole packs of coffee cake in one sitting!”

[From Hollywood Rag]

That is truly disgusting. I had a pregnant friend who craved sea sponges. I don’t think she ever gave into it (at least as far as she would admit) but she told me that she had to take the sponges out of her shower because she wanted to eat them so badly. Yeah, bone marrow is bad, but sponges are just f*** up.

Model and actress Milla Jovivich, 31, is seven months pregnant with her first child, which is thought to be a girl. Unlike women who manage to stay inexplicably svelte with just a baby bump, like Bridget Moynahan, Jovivich has gained weight all over. She blogged that she’s gained 70 pounds during her pregnancy and that it comes from eating a lot of carbs.

i am so huge you guys! i’ve gained almost 70 pounds in the last 4 months! It’s unbelievable how quickly it all happened, all i did was eat three bagels every morning with butter, peanut butter and jelly all over them, a few boxes of crispy cream donuts for lunch and boom! i’m tipping the scale at 195! man, that came out of nowhere! lol! well maybe not completely out of nowhere! so now i’m completely going in the opposite extreme and eating nothing but chicken, fish and veggies with the closest thing to bread taking the form of oatmeal in the morning with just the teensiest bit of maple sugar to make it bearable… sigh! all i want is another box of donuts! well, only 8 more weeks to go and then hopefully i’ll start to get back to normal.

[From MillaJ.com via USWeekly]

Jovovich is 5’8″ tall, so 195 pounds is big for a pregnant woman at that height, but not huge. I’m 5’7″ and I weighed about 195 right before my son was born. It was pretty uncomfortable for me and I was self conscious about it. My son was nearly 9 pounds when he was born, not that it’s an excuse for gaining that much weight. Eventually I lost it, but it took work and makes me realize I’ll have to be more careful not to balloon up if I have another one.

I didn’t know much about Jovovich up until now. She seems to have a great personality and comes across as funny and outspoken on her blog. Jovivich is currently starring in Resident Evil: Exinction, and the father of her baby is the director, Paul W.S. Anderson. Jovovich and Anderson are engaged and say they want to get married after the baby comes.

Jovivich is also a talented songwriter and singer, and offers free mp3s of her music on her website to download. She has a haunting voice and her songs are sparse and folksy. Wikipedia compares her style to Tori Amos and Kate Bush.

In related pregnancy and baby news, Helen is going to the hospital today to hopefully have her baby, which will be her third child. Best wishes to Helen for an easy delivery and a healthy baby!

Milla Jovovich is shown at the Resident Evil: Extinction premiere on 09/20/07 in Las Vegas. Thanks to PRPhotos for these pics.
